=11.0ptThe Cleveland Browns and the Jacksonville Jaguars will each be looking for their 1st win of the season as each team lost their openers last weekend. The Browns took a thumping from the Cowboys at home and we seemingly out of the game early. Trailing 20-3 at the half, Dallas extended their lead and won the game by a final score of 33-17. Cleveland was only 2/15 on 3rd down and were held to 230 total yards. Deshaun Watson looked terrible and could be out of a job sooner rather than later. The 2 interceptions he threw were the only 2 turnovers of the game. Now, they will be without their leading recveiver from that game, David Njoku, who finished with 4 receptions and 44 yards. He is currently in the concussion protocol. For the Jaguars, they let a 17-7 halftime lead slip away in Miami. The offense was shutdown and they were unable to score in the 2nd half, losing 20-17. They were inefficient on 3rd down, going just 2/10 and could only accrue 139 yards through the air. Tank Bigsby was a nice surprise for them as he went for 73 yards on 12 carries. Defensively, they gave up 400 yards of total offense to Miami.
